I imagine the range would be very hard to quantify exactly, since it would probably depend on many many variables, such as driving style, speed, road grade, ambient temp (battery efficiency), head winds etc.
It's an electric car, with the dominating cost being the battery, I think it's a legit headline stat, and probably the dominant variable between the models, except for the performance model, which seems to have a beefier motor controller/inverter.
- ansy 15y agoWhy do people want a bigger battery? Why is it something to headline? Why would someone pay $20,000 for more kWh? It's not because people want to masturbate to a bigger number for $20,000. Because they care about RANGE. That's it. That's what actually matters. The closer you get to that number the more relevant it is to the consumer. You can estimate it, massage it, even lie about it. But at the end of the day, that's what the consumer is actually buying.
